Still working...

 This quilt is one I wish I hadn't started! I want the quilt but I'm struggling to get it done. It is hot upstairs and I just want this thing done! Ya'll ever feel like that?

Numbered rows

 I found a trick to keeping the top on the table. It kept wanting to slide off while I pinned so I found these bag clips and clipped it to the table. 

The top is finished! Yay! I'm almost finished with the back. I had stop mid-sew and just leave it. I was sweating and getting frustrated by the second!  Perhaps once I start quilting it I will feel better.

Pinwheel Progress

I feel like I have been working on this quilt FOREVER!!! I feel as though I will never finsih this thing!

Here is what I have so far:

All my blocks laid out.

Everything sewed together with two borders.

Ok, so I am stuck right now. This quilt needs another border that is a darker print than the rest to tie everything together. I need somewhat of a modern print since the rest of the prints are modern. Right now it is about 85in square and I need it to get it to at least 96in square. 

I have to wait until Thursday for the Christmas fabric to go 50% off at my favorite store before I can purchase what I need. So, this top is waiting for me until then. Sigh. 



Quilt Along Top

Last week was the final week in piecing blocks for Amy's Quilt Along. This week we are putting together the top. I worked on mine all morning and into the afternoon hours and am finally finished!

I'm guessing next week is going to be quilting and binding. I plan to quilt each square differently and with the pattern of the square to keep with the sampler theme. I bought batting over the weekend, but it is a thin one and I think I may get a thicker one to get a more country feel to it.

I've also been working on Christmas presents and I can't show you those yet!
